Are they firing Bryce Young too? Crazy, but the QB usually is the catalyst for the offense and little man ain't getting it done with his tippy-toe hop throws. The more I watch him, the more I think we whiffed. People are pointing out that Eddy doesn't have the leg for a 59 yard kick on a cold outdoor night, but can't see a dude about as big as the average 16-year old high schooler can't thrown effectively-sh*tty mechanics to boot. Heck, I mean if he could just get his mechanics right he could get more mustard on the ball. Cam had bad mechanics too, but had a rifle for an arm to compensate for it.

He doesn't call plays anymore, remember?

I could have told them...and did, it wasn't Frank's playcalling. It's a small, rookie QB with bad mechanics that, by the way, has no weapons outside of a geriatric Adam Thielen.

Hated the call. The Bears were defending for the deep ball for such a play call. Wasted play and effectively ended the game.

That lost the game right there and I knew it. Why the fug are we trying to take a deep shot when CLEARLY we don't have the parts for it? We were doing just fine with the underneath stuff the Bears were giving us. Yes, we had plenty of time, so urgency wasn't a factor.

No offensive TD. Take out the STs TD and this game wasn't even close.

Okay. so don't give the guy shot who has been in football his entire life over a dude that stumbled into football. If I remember correctly, Fitterer had a baseball background that became a scout and move from baseball to football. Morgan has literally lived his whole life in the game. So I think he has a leg up on his boss. It wouldn't be the first time a junior member of a organization could outperform their boss if only given a chance. Also, you aren't going to find a replacement mid-season if Fitterer is let go. Who's going to make personnel decisions or will Tepper take on that role? That's right, most likely Dan Morgan. You people have to think sometimes.

Ugh. See a prior post. Morgan is a football guy, Fitterer is NOT. Learning under Fitt? Two offseasons doesn't define a career. Remember, he came to us from Buffalo, so he learned nothing there? He's mini-Fitts though...okay I've worked for many bosses over my career and I'm still my own man. I didn't morph into my bosses and sure as heck wouldn't have for a dude I worked barely 2 years for.

Two offseasons? The first year, the HC had final say over personnel decisions so what pull did the assistant GM really have? That's why I wanted to see what Fitterer could do this offseason. It was a colossal flop. Everything he touched--every decision he made has made no impact or backfired horribly this season with the exception to Thielen.

Has anyone notice that the Panthers home page isn't updated a regularly as it used to be? I mean, the fluff pieces are still there, but things like transactions, roster, depth chart and such are dragging behind lately.

Because he's a football guy, first and foremost. Secondly, he was recently added so this poo show isn't his bowel movement.

Fitterer is as good as gone. Hopefully they name Morgan the new GM.

I know and they are both 2nd rounders. One more second round bust at WR will seem fitting.

We'll go with the old tried and true Panthers method, draft one in the 2nd round.

Bagent may throw some picks, but he can score TDs too. Thus leaning on the defense to get the victory. If Fields starts, he may be rusty, but that's still probably good enough to beat us.

Haynes won't be ready, I don't think. That's going to leave us super thin at OLB. That sucks because holding Chicago scoreless would be our best chance of winning.

Don't think for a second the Giants aren't going to be looking very hard at this QB class. They can get out from under Jones' contract after the 2024 season. This also give the rookie a year to sit if need be.

At least he cashed in during the offseason. That's the reason you don't cave to demands of players at key positions looking for their bag that's not generational. I'm all about paying guys what they are worth, but overpaying dudes because they think they are worth the figure in their heads is another. Kyler Murray is another example. Teams balk for a reason (they have reservations about the player) then cave and almost immediately regret it. Add Brian Burns to that list in the offseason while we lack a first round pick and saddled with a huge cap number.

That man is a DOOFUS!

Again. Problem was Tepper gave full control to a college hack who had no business being a NFL head coach, let alone have full control of personnel decisions.

I took a screenshot and posted it in the game day thread. Young was at -9 yards passing about half way through the 2nd quarter. In the 4th quarter as team's defenses are protecting leads is where Young is padding his stats. They concede the underneath stuff and coincidentally where he thrives.

When your the boss, there's is no moral equivalency. If the product is suffering where the head man had a major role in it, he's not going to fire himself, so he'll find a lackey. The terms 'fall guy' and 'scapegoat' exist for a reason.

So who else would have rode with Dalton this year and took a stab at one of these fellas?

You are a funny dude. I despise Tepper and have given up on Fitterer, but sure, I am supporting them. I am giving Frank the benefit of a doubt, but that somehow means I support Fitterer and Tepper. The crazy dots you be connecting man...

Anything other than drafting a rookie QB wasn't an option. If you can't see that my man, you are in need of a walking stick and a seeing-eye dog. Tepper was done with FA QBs with marginal success.
